About this title

Review:

"Ultimately, I would argue that this book succeeds with its goals by laying a broad, basic, and clear foundation in the philosophy of generative syntax, thus allowing undergraduates to learn the nature of scientific inquiry with languages in a trimester/quarter system or supporting graduate students with little or distant background to read and respond to primary literature with more confidence and understanding." (Linguist, 27 August 2012)

From the Back Cover:

This succinct, practical introduction to understanding sentence structure is ideal for students with little background in linguistics who need to get up to speed on how modern syntactic analysis works. Introducing the reader to the central terms and concepts in the field of syntax, it explains how to understand and operate syntactic analysis, as well as how to approach linguistic argumentation. Included are numerous problem sets, helpfully graded for difficulty, with model answers provided at critical points.

Designed for either classroom use or self-study, Syntactic Analysis fills a gap in the available literature by providing a short and hands-on guide to understanding syntactic systems, and provides the reader with a strong foundation for more advanced work in the field.
